Definately different

I had a couple of rough starts with this audiobook, I was having a hard time getting into in and had to stop listening until the time was right. After I got about a third of the way in to the book I was hooked. Tonia Brown broke out of the zombie stereotype with this one. It is full of dark college humor and cringe worthy gore. Nice combo in my book! But not recommended for young ears unless you want to have really awkward conversations explaining the content, or if you don't have a sense of humor. But if you do, give this book a chance. Just not while eating..

Jonah and Dale have been besties since they were kids. They are in a two man 'band' together and going on tour. The two of them are polar opposites. Jonah is the nerdy, inexperienced, shy part of the duo- and Dale is the loud, womanizer, obnoxious side. When Jonah finds out Dale has never been to California he decides to make a detour on the way to the next gig in Reno while Dale is passed out in the back seat to reunite him with his estranged father. Bad move. As soon as they cross the state line, they are pulled over by Satan, who takes Dales soul. Jonah makes a deal with the devil for his friends soul, and this takes them on a wild goose chase of a road trip with a time limit. Satan reanimates Dale to keep Jonah company, and to help out along the way. So Dale is a full fledged zombie, hunger for flesh, decomposing (dead skin chafes pretty easily) and digestive issues (what goes in must come out). Along the way they pick up Candy- the stripper, who is only trying to get back home to her father.. right? The trio get in plenty of sticky situations along the way including a dog taking off with an appendage of Dale's, and using feminine hygiene to control the.. ahem.. smell.

John Vorhees does a great job with the narration. Each character has their own voice, you are never confused about who is talking. He adds in emotion to the characters, bringing them to life. His pacing is good, and he has a pleasant speaking voice that is easy to listen to.

Thoroughly entertaining!

What made the experience of listening to Badass Zombie Road Trip the most enjoyable?

Seriously funny writing, delivered by spot-on performance.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Jonah's struggle between general nebbishness and the need for action was very entertaining.

What about John Voorhees’s performance did you like?

John is extremely versatile, giving each character its own authentic, believable voice. Other voice actors might have a hard time managing that without it seeming disjointed or chaotic.

The humor is delivered VERY well with his performance.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed out loud a LOT.

One heck of a road trip

What did you love best about Badass Zombie Road Trip?

Tonia Brown wrote outside the box.

Have you listened to any of John Voorhees’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Not that I remember

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I listened to it on a very long road trip from Oh to Tx,so that is a yes.

Any additional comments?

I really enjoyed Tonia Brown's story.The Narrator did a fantastic job with it.

Whacky zombie road trip antics

Any additional comments?

Well, this one was certainly not boring. Lots of action and sarcastic wit filled dialog. With a title like BadAss Zombie Road Trip you can expect over the top characters, whacky road trip antics and plenty of comedy.

After a deal gone south with the devil, Dale loses his soul and now instead of going to Reno to play a gig, he and Jonah must travel across the country to literally try and save their souls. Along the way they will meet many interesting characters and even end up all douched up in maxi pads and feminine odor control products. Huh? Yep. Hygiene happens.

The narrator did a great job with this one. Good inflection and comedic timing. Recommended for a light hearted and fun listen.
